Directorate of Science and Technology
Good news. The CIA Directorate of Science and Technology is exhibiting 40 years' worth of gadgets including and "insectothopter".
The CIA once built a mechanical dragonfly to carry a listening device but found small gusts of wind knocked it off course so it was never used in a spy operation. The agency also tested a 24-inch-long rubber robot catfish named “Charlie” capable of swimming inconspicuously among other fish and whose mission remains secret.
Bad news. It is not open to the public. Some material is available on-line... These pamphlets are particularly interesting.
